4 car vs. 5 car trains

I was thinking about the differences in having the different length trains and had a thought. The 4 car train might be able to run a little faster over the top because of the shorter length. They will have less room to play with when they go to 5 car operation.

Is this an opportunity not be missed? The 4 car trains might be a great ride through out the whole train while the 5 car might have the same intensities in the front and back but the middle might be a little slow. I am talking mostly about negative g's going over the top.

It's tough to tell what will happen, but yes, it will be interesting to compare a ride with 4 cars versus a ride with 5 cars...

Not to mention trains with fewer seats mean better odds of getting the front or back seat. :)

what about how the station is set up? i mean if the gates are set up to accomodate five cars won't that be messed up by using only four cars? i think so. then i am guessing the four train vehicles are only temporary.

Don't we have enough topics on this already?
